Abstract

Due to the rapidly growing MEMS initiator market and the needs for smaller, safer and higher integration, more advanced switches are in demand. The novel solid MEMS switch can improve the security and reliability of MEMS initiator, while the leads of its package are weak under high impact. This paper mainly studied the leads reliability of the novel solid MEMS switch under high impact by FEM simulation analysis. Through simulation analysis, the mainly weakness and the potential failure modes of the leads under high impact can be obtained, which can provide theory reference for the design and application of the novel solid MEMS switch.
